I'm in NC and we are having the best year for mast crops, all of them, that I can remember!!
Reds produce every other year (at best) so if they had acorns last year, they would not have them this year.I was actually doing some research on this subject last night. At least for the properties I hunt. The reds didn't make jack squat except for the 4 or 5 on the top of a ridge of 1 property. The 8-10 whites on the same property made a bumper crop but they were in a creek bottom like the red oaks surrounding it. One ~12' tall 4" at the base white oak looks like it has more acorns than leaves on it.
It puzzled me that the white oaks made but the red oaks less than 100 yards away didn't make any at all.
In 43+years of being a michigander I have never heard anybody refer to as the pinky of Michigan! That's great!Nonexistent here in the "pinky" of Michigan. No beech nuts neither. Mast is pretty sparse here.
If there's a thumb there ought to be a pinky.In 43+years of being a michigander I have never heard anybody refer to as the pinky of Michigan! That's great!
I feel sorry for the poor saps and Mackinaw!If there's a thumb there ought to be a pinky.
Why, they're number 1!I feel sorry for the poor saps and Mackinaw!
The previous two years the same red oaks have produced on these properties. The only cluster of reds that produced this year would be 3 in a row that they made well. I wouldn't say bumper crop,but they made well.Reds produce every other year (at best) so if they had acorns last year, they would not have them this year.
